There won’t be any third thoughts for safety J.J. Wilcox when it comes to picking a team for the 2018 season.

The Jets officially announced Wilcox’s signing on Wednesday afternoon. Their plan to sign him first surfaced on Tuesday while Wilcox was at the 49ers facility with the expectation that he would be signing with them.

Wilcox joins the Jets in the wake of news that safety Rontez Miles is going to miss 3-4 months after having surgery to repair a torn meniscus. Wilcox, who played 12 games for the Steelers last season and spent the first four years of his career in Dallas, gives them an experienced backup to second-year starters Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye at safety.

On an off day in March 2009, James drove two hours to Columbus to attend a high school championship game featuring his alma mater, St. Vincent-St. Mary, and Thurgood Marshall, a high school in Dayton.

It was a hotly contested game with James’ school ultimately winning by six, but Thurgood Marshall’s Juwan Staten, a spark-plug junior guard at the time, scored 28 points in defeat. In the moments after the final buzzer, Staten broke down in exhaustion and grief, holding his head in his hands as he started to cry. He felt someone hug him and start to speak to him.

There will likely be some update about whether there’s concern that Claiborne won’t be ready at that point once members of the organization speak to the media this week.

Several fans hid in the lot by laying on the ground underneath their cars. When the Cavs piled off the bus, the fans rolled out into plain sight, hoping to get an autograph or a picture with James, who was unfazed.

I mean, to be honest, man, I had got so much in high school, it wasn’t something that was surprising to me or something that I haven’t seen before, James said. I mean, everywhere we went in high school, man, there was people outside our rooms, whether we was in a motel or a hotel, or a Holiday Inn, people was there trying to figure out what the hype was all about. I had seen it so much in high school throughout those last three years that when I got to the NBA, it was like, ‘OK.’

Los Angeles was 3-for-15 with runners in scoring position and left 10 men on base.

Los Angeles’ Jose Miguel Fernandez got his first career RBI with a fourth-inning double. Called up from Triple-A Salt Lake before Friday’s game, the 30-year-old first-baseman was 4-for-10 in the series.

With a couple of clutch hits and a strong night by the bullpen, the Angels taught a lesson in resiliency. The Twins are still searching for theirs.

Ian Kinsler hit a two-run home run for the lead in the seventh inning and Justin Upton went deep in the eighth, powering the Angels past the Twins 4-2 on Friday after they placed rookie sensation Shohei Ohtani on the disabled list with an elbow injury .

Pujols’ solo home run in the sixth proved to be the difference, as Tyler Skaggs (5-4) allowed one run in seven innings and matched a season best with eight strikeouts.

The team announced Pujols is sending the ball he hit, his jersey and bat from Saturday’s game to the family of Musial, who died in 2013.

Minnesota’s lone run crossed the plate in the sixth after Max Kepler grounded into a double play, but Robbie Grossman got caught in a rundown before being tagged out, allowing Eddie Rosario to score.

He’s been pretty clean, but that one kind of had us a little anxious, Twins manager Paul Molitor said.

Before rookie James launched off his left foot and cocked the ball back in his right arm to throw down an instantly iconic dunk in Sacramento, he dug into some chicken fettuccine at the team hotel. It was his last lunch before a legendary run that would include multiple championships and MVP awards, and he was breaking bread with someone who had a couple rings and MVPs of his own: Moses Malone.

The New York Giants released wide receiver Brandon Marshall after one season with the organization.

General manager Dave Gettleman announced the roster move Thursday. Gettleman said the team used the failed physical designation on Marshall, per Art Stapleton of The Record.

I was just concentrating on controlling my emotions in those situations, focusing on my delivery and trying to get my pitches where I wanted them to go, Garcia said through a translator.

Four relievers finished the four-hitter. Andujar hit his first major league homer off Brad Ziegler with two outs in the ninth, spoiling the shutout.

From Sunday nights to Monday nights to Thursday nights to the opening night of the season in Philadelphia (at least one report has pegged it as a rematch of the Vikings-Eagles NFC title game), all questions will be answered once the NFL removes the sheet from its 256-game slate, capping weeks of elbow grease expended and simulations prepared by Howard Katz and his staff at the league office.

And so, whether it’s Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, the regular-season schedule likely is coming next week. We’ll break down every angle of it as soon after it’s released as possible, and we’ll be tracking all leaks and other advance news as to that key question of when.

The Pacers took the fight to the Cavs, and Indiana’s players are battling critics who say they can’t compete with Cleveland.

We were definitely mad, Stephenson said. They still don’t believe. We’re just going to keep proving everyone wrong and play together.

While some fans are getting their first look at Oladipo, the Pacers have seen this before.

On this team, we all know what Victor can do when he steps on the court, Thaddeus Young said. You’ve got to double-team him because he makes good decisions with the basketball. When you don’t, you saw what he’s capable of.

The NFL is requiring journalists covering Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis to provide racial identification when requesting credentials to be admitted to the Feb. 4 game.

Journalists for years have been asked to provide either a Social Security number or passport number and a photo for security checks for the game but have not been asked to specify their race, a field that is mandatory in the online press pass application form.

The NFL until this year conducted security checks on media members on its own, while the FBI performed checks on other credentialed personnel, such as vendors or stadium attendants, league spokesman Brian McCarthy told The Washington Post.

It’s a question that everybody today dances around, but it’s not because it’s something that folks are not used to giving, Wedick said. Maybe in this particular situation it’s something you didn’t have to give before, but we’ve become more security conscious and these venues are being more careful about making sure you are who you claim to be.

We’ll have that — what’s that song? ‘Getting To Know You’ — we’ll do that. We’ll get to know each other and we’ll go from there. He’s rehabbing an injury. I haven’t had an opportunity to talk to Ronnie about how far along he is so we’ll see.

Giants co-owner John Mara said the Giants definitely plan on Beckham being part of the team’s future. He said he wasn’t sure on a timetable for an extension, adding that Gettleman’s first priority will be to help the team find a new head coach. Gettleman echoed Mara’s sentiments about Beckham.

While that remark might sound strange coming from the man who rescinded Josh Norman’s franchise tag in Carolina, Gettleman understands the magnitude of the job ahead. He said fixing the Giants’ offensive line will be among his primary goals, and he’s not afraid to hurt some feelings when it comes to contract negotiations.

If you ask the CEO of Papa John’s, there’s a straight line from his pizza company’s sagging third-quarter earnings through the NFL’s national anthem demonstrations to what he says is poor leadership at the top in the NFL.

This should have been nipped in the bud a year and a half ago, John Schnatter said in prepared remarks (via Chris Otts of WDRB.com). Like many sponsors, we are in contact with the NFL and once the issue is resolved between the players and the owners, we are optimistic that the NFL’s best years are ahead. But good or bad, leadership starts at the top, and this is an example of poor leadership.

As Awful Announcing pointed out, this is not the first time Schnatter, a Republican Party donor, has weighed in on a political issue in the context of his company’s performance. In 2012, he warned that Papa John’s might have to raise prices on its pizza by 11 to 14 cents per pie to offset penalties he claimed would be imposed under the Affordable Care Act.

The company has a deal with the NFL as well as with 23 individual teams and the league has not responded to a request for comment. On social media, most replied that Papa John’s problem lies in its product.

The amount ESPN pays by itself isn’t all that far from what the other three networks pay combined �� somewhere around $3.5 billion per season �� and they all get the Super Bowl every couple of years. NBC comes out even better: It gets the Super Bowl plus the right to more or less craft its late-season schedule as it sees fit.

In any case, ESPN says it’s happy with its current NFL agreement. For an all-sports network with hours and hours of programming to fill �� plus an entire digital sports platform to maintain �� the right to broadcast NFL highlights alone is perhaps worth the high cost. Plus, even if the ratings are down, they’re still better than pretty much everything else on Monday night television.

Shredding the Steelers has earned Blake Bortles a new pocket of supporters — in Cincinnati.

In the wake of Jacksonville’s 45-42 playoff win over Pittsburgh, Bengals fans have come out of the woodwork to thank the Jaguars quarterback by donating to the Blake Bortles Foundation, per ESPN.com’s Michael DiRocco.

Who know what this could lead to? If Bortles and the Jaguars take out the high-and-mighty Patriots on Sunday, Bengals fans won’t be the only ones chiming in. Followers of the Cardinals, Falcons, Ravens, Bills, Panthers, Bears, Browns, Cowboys, Broncos, Lions, Packers, Texans, Colts, Chiefs, Rams, Chargers, Dolphins, Vikings, Saints, Giants, Jets, Raiders, Eagles, Steelers, 49ers, Seahawks, Buccaneers, Titans and Redskins will know just how to say thanks. Alright, maybe not the Steelers.

You hear it from guys like Capela, Durant said. Usually he’s catching the ball and laying it up from CP [Chris Paul] or James Harden. His job is not as hard. When your job is that hard, you know you can’t just come out there and say s— like that. I don’t expect that from CP and James and [Trevor] Ariza and the rest of the guys like that because they know how hard it is to come out and do that every night. Capela, catch and dunk every night. It’s pretty easy for him.

Should Houston (32-12) and Golden State (37-10) finish the regular season with identical records, the Rockets will be granted the higher seed and have home-court advantage. Houston took two of the three contests on the season.

Houston’s revamped roster featuring Paul, Luc Mbah a Moute and PJ Tucker, partnered with the franchise player in Harden, has NBA fans thinking it might be an interesting series should these two squads face each other in the playoffs.

The Minnesota Vikings will let Adrian Peterson test the free agent market, announcing Tuesday that they will not pick up the option on his contract for the upcoming season. However, the running back said that the door is still open to find some common ground with the team.

Adrian is an important part of the Minnesota Vikings organization, General Manager Rick Spielman said in a statement issued by the team. We will continue to have conversations with his representatives and leave our future options open while determining what is best for both parties moving forward.

Peterson has said that he would like to stay in Minnesota, but told ESPN that he would consider the Houston Texans, New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers if he became a free agent. His availability creates instant conversation in other places, like Dallas, where the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would like to pair him with Ezekiel Elliott.

If Adrian Peterson was free, source said #Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would pursue him to pair with Zeke Elliott. He’ll be free on 3/9

The league declined to comment on any communications between Al Riveron, the NFL’s senior vice president of officiating, and the Redskins after the game about the call.

The call pushed the Redskins out of field-goal range on their final drive of the fourth quarter and resulted in a 10-second runoff, a combination that doomed a last-ditch effort to win in regulation. They lost, 34-31, in overtime after leading 31-16 in the fourth quarter.

A judgment call such as that is not subject to instant replay scrutiny during a game and cannot be reversed, under the NFL’s rules governing the use of replay. But officials are graded and judged by the league on the accuracy of the calls they make and future assignments can be affected.

While it might bring him some midsection pain, the rest of Jacksonville can breathe easy — Cam Robinson will play in the playoffs.

Here are other injuries we’re monitoring Monday:

1. Oakland Raiders guard Vadal Alexander left in the first half against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night to be evaluated for a concussion and didn’t return.

6. Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray is considered a long shot to play Sunday against the Jaguars because of an apparent LCL sprain, according to Rapoport.

7. Los Angeles Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said the team will have a better idea of running back Melvin Gordon’s availability in the coming days. Gordon suffered an ankle injury during the fourth quarter Sunday and did not return versus the New York Jets.

8. Buffalo Bills running back Travaris Cadet is out for the season with a dislocated ankle and will have surgery Wednesday morning, Rapoport reported.

If so, the NFL waves farewell to one of its finest figures. With a career spanning 59 years as a Hall of Fame player and coach, LeBeau still ranks 10th all-time in interceptions following a stellar 14-year run as a defensive back with the Lions.

Beginning his coaching career in 1973, LeBeau served as a long-time coordinator with the Bengals (1984-1999) before taking over as Cincinnati’s head coach from 2000-2002. From there, he won a pair of Super Bowls as Pittsburgh’s masterful defensive play-caller (2004-2014) before spending the past three seasons with Tennessee.

As the innovator of the zone blitz defense, LeBeau has authored some of the league’s nastiest and unpredictable schemes. Quarterbacks won’t miss him, but if this is truly the end, LeBeau’s stamp on the game is enduring.

How many Christmas wishes do we get as the next-to-last week of the NFL season approaches? Here are four.

That the NFL doesn’t try to sneak in one last Thursday night game, now that the TNF schedule officially ended last week. That we go a week without an MVP candidate getting knocked out with injury, after two straight weeks of it happening. That there’s not a single appearance of an index card or the phrase did not survive the ground in any game. And that there’s no reason to discuss workplace leg-shaving at any time.

As for the games themselves, 13 of the 16 spread over three days this holiday weekend have playoff implications, including, amazingly, both games that will compete with the NBA on Christmas day.

If there were such a thing as controlling your own destiny (which there isn’t, because destiny can’t be controlled), the Ravens would control theirs. Win their final two games, both at home, against Colts and Bengals teams with a combined eight wins as of this week, and they’re a wild card. The Colts looked as if they hit a wall last Thursday in losing badly to the Broncos and Brock Osweiler. The Ravens’ Alex Collins is doing sort of a reincarnation of Justin Forsett: out of nowhere and into the top 10 in NFL rushing (844 yards).

Isaiah Thomas made his Cleveland Cavaliers debut against the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday and is sitting out against the Boston Celtics the following day. It would have been cosmically perfect for the point guard to play for the first time this season against the team that traded him away, but it made more sense for Thomas to come back to a game with lower stakes.

We figure it will kill Thomas to sit against Boston, however, given that he’s said plenty about the Celtics since they traded him in the Kyrie Irving blockbuster last August. Thomas finished fifth in the league’s MVP voting lat year, averaging the third-most points per game while leading Boston to the top seed in the league.

He finished with an average of 4.0 yards per rush, the worst of his career, but with 1,586 yards from scrimmage, McCoy gained over 1,000 more than any other Bills player this season. He was playing his best football before a Week 17 injury, having trailed only Todd Gurley in rushing yards from Weeks 11 to 16. — Mike Rodak

A fourth-quarter strip sack sealed a 23-16 win over the Texans in late November. He ranks as the franchise’s all-time leader in sacks (125.5) and forced fumbles (36). — Jamison Hensley

There weren’t many options this year, as even reliable wide receiver A.J. Green didn’t have his best year. But Atkins was one of the most consistent players, despite playing on an injured toe the last part of the season. He was one of two Bengals to make the Pro Bowl and led the team with nine sacks through 15 games, an impressive feat for a defensive tackle. — Katherine Terrell

In a winless season, there aren’t a lot of players who jump out for excellence. Linebackers Chris Kirksey and Joe Schobert played every down and had more than 100 tackles, but Johnson was the team’s most reliable playmaker on an offense that lacked reliable players. Johnson led the Browns with 74 receptions and seven touchdowns, and had 1,041 combined yards rushing and receiving. — Pat McManamon

John Wall has returned to Adidas with a new five-year deal after testing the sneaker free agency market over the last two seasons, according to a report from The Vertical’s Shams Charania.

Sources: Washington Wizards All-Star John Wall has agreed to a five-year endorsement deal with Adidas. Wall returns to the brand after testing shoe free agency over the past couple years.

Wall had been in talks with multiple brands over that period but eventually returned to Adidas, where the brand already launched two signature shoes under Wall’s name. His previous deal expired in Sept. 2015 after the J Wall 2 launched. The All-Star point guard never re-signed despite having a third signature shoe in the works.

Wall was the biggest sneaker free agent on the market after Giannis Antetokounmpo. Adidas chased Antetokounmpo once his deal expired in the fall but lost out on Nike. Since then, Adidas brought back Wall and signed Zach LaVine to the brand.
